Release Notes

Changed

• kafka-protocol is now the crates.io 0.18.0 release and the temporary
  [patch.crates-io] git pin from 0.17.3 has been removed. 0.18.0 contains
  both fixes the pin carried — the record timestampDelta varlong decode fix
  (kafka-protocol-rs#159, our #150)
  and the snappy-decompression fix (kafka-protocol-rs#149) — plus the KIP-534
  delete_horizon batch attribute (kafka-protocol-rs#157), which this
  codebase already supported. Requested upstream in
  kafka-protocol-rs#162.
• Publishing kafka-backup-core to crates.io resumes with this release
  (it was skipped for 0.17.3 while the source patch was active). Library
  consumers no longer need a [patch.crates-io] entry in their workspace.
